Hey, I'm looking for some work in the Alpes. I'm Canadian, but I have my german passeport, so I don't need any visas or other stuff. I would be interest to work in the Alpes in Germany, France or Switzerland. If you have any hotels or ski resort to suggest where I would be able to get some work with a staff accomodation, would be awesome. Thanks
Fred

Hello toransurf and everybody else looking this site... 
Coming winter season I'd like to spend working in the Alps and I'm wondering if somebody has any experiences with it... I prefer to go to Swiss or Austria because I wish to improve my German. If anybody knows for ski resort searching for student workers please let me know... Thanks. U.

Hi Fred,
There are many opportunities in the Alps. For example there is Zermatt, which is beautiful and has good skiing. But also Verbier is a great place (only accommodation is very expensive). I would say it actually depends if you know German and/or French, then there are many possibilities. If not you would need to stick to the mainly english dominated resorts, e.g Verbier, and some place in France, I can't remember the name just now, it is close to Geneva. But from my experience apres-ski is better in the German speaking countries 
cheers,
kat

Chamonix? I know a lot of people from here go to Chamonix to ski, also Innsbruck seems quite popular with English speakers.

exactly that was the one, thank you!
around this region (of Chamonix) you will find many english speaking. My favorite personally is Wengen (the English ski club was founded there). But only for skiing and having a good time, don't know how the working would be.

Hi!!
Chamonix is very nice place to stay and a lot of english-speaking staff wanting, so i don't think that it would be a problem to find a job. Actually i've heard that about 70% of Chamonix and surroundeengs is populated with english- peaking and swidish people! But the atmosphere there is really cool! So, i advise it strongly!

I tried this site in the past, and I never got any replay on any of the e-mails I sent out...I guess those places receive to many applications.
